Another Bee photo!

Lisa posted a great bee photo a while back, so I thought I needed to try one for myself. Be sure to check out the larger versions.

Smoltz delivers!

Summertime Flowers

A very good friend of mine lives near Cartersville, and she recently did some landscaping around her new house.  These are some of the flowers she has.  They are beautiful!

Tennis memories

This is one of the public tennis courts in Springfield, about 25 miles north of Savannah. Growing up, I used to play on this court several times a week. It looks pretty much the same as it did then with its chain-link net and faded lines.

Spanish Moss

Coastal Georgia is known for Spanish moss, which oddly enough is not really moss. It is a flowering plant, and it is related to the pineapple. (But don’t try eating it!)

Grillzilla

A great Georgia tradition is grilling out. My cousin is a volunteer fireman in Effingham County, and his crew converted an old propane tank into a grill.

Yes, we Georgians take our grilling VERY seriously.

Crepe Myrtles

I spent some time this past weekend visiting some family down in South Georgia, and the crepe myrtles are in full bloom. You can click on each picture for a larger version.

San Francisco

I just got home from a trip to San Francisco for an event called PowerSchool University.  If you use a student information system in your school you know what I’m speaking about.  PowerSchool is a product that was recently sold by Apple to Pearson.  It’s a good product, although it can be tedious to use, but I guess just about all of them are.  Anyway, while at the conference we got to do a little sightseeing in the evenings, and I spent an extra day after the conference ended to visit Fisherman’s Wharf.  I’ll be posting some of my pics soon.  I’ve got to get them compressed first.  However, here is a sampling.  We had a group outing on Tuesday night which was going to AT&T Park to watch the San Francisco Giants play the Texas Rangers.  It was a blast.

Barry Bonds

Yep, that’s Barry Bonds at bat.  I’m not a big fan of his, but nonetheless, history is being made when you watch him.  We had seats in the nosebleed section of left field, and my camera was zoomed in to the max here!

Bay Bridge
